I don't know what kind of picture you're getting from international media sources, but what's happening in Israel is profusely clear.
Multiple members of this government, including PM Netanyahu and Minister of Defence Galant, announced many times in the past days that an operation in Rafah is happening no matter what.
Israel will not agree to stop the war under any condition.
-
This is also the opinion of the majority of Israelis. The ones demonstrating are a relative minority and even they will not disobey an order to join their reserve units and go into Rafah.
Also, for all means and purposes, the operation already started, and Israel has taken control of the Rafa crossing and is bombing Rafah extensively.
-
The White House and the Egyptians are helping Israel by putting this operation under a cloud of fake doubt. There is no doubt, it is happening.
The Americans will blame Hamas for the failure of the negotiations soon is my best guess.
-
So don't let this coordinated psyop campaign derail your revolutionary enthusiasm, if I can call it that.
Prepare to march and demonstrate like you never did. Israel is going into Rafah, the US and the West are helping Israel, and only a huge international protest movement can save the remaining children of Gaza.
I guess you all saw by now the letter of open threats directed at the ICC, warning them not to touch Israel.
My question to you is: do you think they did not do the same, or worse, to members of the ICJ? To UN officials? And we have no idea about it?
We don't know how many people in all kinds of places are bullied into silence and complicity using direct threats. But I guess there are more than a few of those. Not everything is stupidity, corruption, and cowardice. Sometimes it's real, existential fear. It will take many years for historians and investigative journalists to give humanity a picture of what really happened here
Bear in mind: this is happening in the most liberal states in America - New York, California, and Mesechusets, under a Democrat president and with a Democrat majority in the Senate.
You can talk all day long about the failings of the two-party system, but it should be exceedingly clear to anyone that the Democratic party is not a power for progress in the US, but a party for oppression and severe political regression. It is the main instrument of kleptocracy and Zionocracy.
People who have the slightest bit of morality and dignity in them should sever all ties to the Democratic party. They should consider existing 3rd options, organize to create new ones, or take time out from formal political activity.
If you want freedom and equality, the democratic party is your enemy. Be courageous enough to admit it.
There are many millions of young voters in the US who would naturally vote Democrat. They mustn't do that now. It is in their best interest (and indeed humanity's), to make sure Democrats lose power in a big, bad, and major way.
Let the coming second Trump era galvanize a new wave of political opposition and awareness in the US. An authentic one, not a fake and monstrous Fetterman and Schumer one.
The Democrats are the main obstacle to that right now, because they just suck the life out of the opposition, and use this harvested energy to provide the system with the stability it needs to carry on the obnoxious charade.
-
Go on and create an encampment outside of the current political game. The Democratic party is killing you as much as it is killing Gaza's children.
Let Trump rule, take over the counter-movement, and rip the political and cultural rewards from a position of power. This is the only way forward.
They use Trump to silence, imprison, and deter you. Reclaim Trump as an asset for the cause.
-
Take the blame for Trump's second presidency with pride. When they wave fingers at you with this accusation, answer with all the quest assurance of a nuclear fusion:
'You should not have supported the mass murder of Gaza's children, and you should not have sent the police to brutalize me and my friend on our campuses, and you should not have vetoed any chance of a ceasefire. Now shut up'.
What is Netanyahu's goal in all this? A number of people asked me privately, so here is my best answer to this question.
First, you need to remember that Netanyahu is not only a psychopath completely devoid of normal human emotions, but he is also a very shallow thinker and quite a stupid person in general. He has but one talent and that's deep deception. This one talent is hugely amplified by the inherent irredeemable idiocy of American political culture, alongside white supremacy, colonial instincts, romanticized Zionist Judaism, and Western guilt.
Also remember: Netanyahu is a coward, so he never initiates big and decisive action openly and directly. His weapon is attrition and slow constant deterioration that leads to things seeming to explode on their own.
-
Netanyahu's goal in this is triple:
1. Make antisemitism a powerful force. The first and most dominant part is getting Israel and Jews as hated as possible throughout the world. This may sound counterintuitive, but it is nonetheless true. When Israel and Jews are hated, are in danger, and are controlled by existential fears, the triumph of the Jewish paranoia camp (Netanyahu, AIPAC, ADL, etc.) is guaranteed. By keeping Jews fearful and unthinking, that camp has absolute power over Jewish matters both internally and externally - Netanyahu hets to speak for Jews in times of great turbulence (yada yada). This puts him in the spotlight and in a position most craved by a sociopathic narcissist.
2. End Palestine. The second part is a final solution to the Palestinian problem, that buggs Israel and destroys its life and reputation, and is an unbearable cloud over its head. Netanyahu slowly pushed things towards a reality where drastic measures would appear not only justified but absolutely necessary. His total control over the American political system gives him the illusion he can push this agenda till he can destroy, exterminate, and ethnically cleanse so many Palestinians, Palestine will become an impossible political goal (some Palestinians will be kept alive to serve as props in the theater of Israel's liberalism).
3. Lebensraum. The third part is expanding Israel and subjugating the entire Middle East to direct Israel-American rule. This will include parts of Lebanon, Jordan, and Syria (and later on, once weakened enough, probably parts of Egypt as well). This necessitates finishing Iran as an opposition to Western-Israeli total regional domination.
-
By this stage, I am certain the US knows about Netanyahu's plan, as I depict it here, and is fully on board with it. This is why they are marching in such total harmony with Netanyahu's actions: they are assisting him in boiling things up slowly, so as to be able to present this plan as a defensive battle against extremism, terrorism, and so on.
-
Netanyahu's plan will fail completely. That's because he is stupid and a megalomaniac. He is incapable of assessing things realistically. He doesn't take into account the internal opposition to his plan in the West (the current wave of demonstrations is just the tip of the iceberg. Soon the West will descend into societal chaos). He also does not appreciate correctly the strength of the resistance axis, and how much China, Russia, and the Global South are determined to end global American colonialism. Finally, he has no idea how broken and tired Israeli society really is.
-
He miscalculates because he is stupid, megalomaniac, and disconnected, but also because he thinks all Americans are easily fooled, naive Christian idiots, or, at best, fearful sheep who are easily controlled through threats of economic and reputation destruction.
-
The result of Netanyahu's psychopathy will be the destruction of Israel and, potentially, the equivalent of a second American Revolution. Paradoxically, all who wish Israel to be destroyed (and Western colonialism to be ended and reversed) should cheer him on, and all who support Israel should have been doing everything to remove him.
-
After this looming catastrophe, no one will be a Zionist.
Letโs say we found evidence of any gov executing men ,women and children with hands zip tied behind them - being discovered in mass graves .
Would it matter who they were ? What religion they said excused such atrocities - or what their ideological rationale was ?
Of course not. Any reasonable person would conclude they were war criminals .
@RnaudBertrand Does that surprise you? America always uses Proxies. Once they are done with them they just throw them to the wolves. It is a fact of life that America uses anyone to their own benefit.
@propandco May they win. These young students are the ones to show those corrupt fat cats in Washington how to be a descent human being and not support a genocide of civilians.
Columbia University Could Dismantle Israeli Apartheid ๐ฃ๏ธ๐ฅ
Ask yourself, why is a student movement from one college campus receiving so much media attention?
Why are politicians, even the PRESIDENT, commenting on this movement?
Itโs because the Zionists are about to suffer a major defeat that will dismantle their occupation and apartheid in Palestine.
Hereโs why:
Columbia University, like most universities, has an investment portfolio funded by a mixture of student tuition, angel donations, and state government matching programs.
These funds are used to invest in big banks, big tech, big oil, and the war machine.
Regarding the occupation of Palestine, investment portfolios often invest in companies like HP, which sustain the racist Israeli apartheid system through its biometric identification systems used at the illegal checkpoints.
They also invest in Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman and others, which produce the weapons being used to slaughter innocent civilians right now in Gaza.
These investments are worth tens of millions of dollars, if not hundreds of millions, and help make the illegal occupation of Palestine and the wholesale slaughter of civilians not only sustainable but incredibly profitable.
There is a dire need for these universities to end their complicity in these human rights violations.
Columbia has divested before.
There is a precedent for divestment.
Columbia and other universities have already divested from South African Apartheid and fossil fuel companies.
However, it was not an easy process.
It took years of organizing and even student occupations of campus property to force the administration to do the right thing.
The Zionists are deeply concerned about this because they know this is the exact path human rights activists took to dismantle support for South African apartheid.
They are fighting a desperate last battle to prevent this from happening, as evidenced by every media outlet being used to amplify Zionist rhetoric about these activities.
If Columbia divests, every other campus in the country will likely follow suit.
This is a significant moment in our history, and the Columbia students must be supported with everything weโve got.
@ecomarxi May the beacon of light shine from there so bright that it wakes up every other university and organization in its path. The time has come to demand better and not let a band of murderers in power to get away with it any longer.
@HelmanDaniel @ecomarxi The white European Jews in Israel are not indigenous to that area. Yes the Semitic Jews are but not the white Jews. They donโt belong in the Middle East.
